《论语》视域中的“仁”“礼”及其关系解读

An Interpretation of Benevolence and Rites and Their Relationship in the Analects of Confucius

孔子关注的重点从天道转向了人道,进而确立了人的道德主体地位,并强调发挥道德主体的自觉主动精神,尽到自己的道德责任,自觉自愿过一种道德性的生活,在日常的道德实践中逐步趋于"仁"境。在《论语》中,孔子指出,完善自我并逐步达于"仁心""仁境"的一个重要路径,是通过"博文约礼",修身养德,修己安人,从而实现安天下百姓、天下皆安的目的。因此,主动而不是被动地按照"礼"的要求过一种道德性的生活,通过"修齐治平"的道德实践功夫,便能够逐步地接近于"仁"的境界。

The focus of Confucius’attention shifted from Heaven to humanity,established the position of man as a moral subject,and emphasized the conscious and active spirit of the moral subject to fulfill his moral responsibility,and consciously live a moral life,gradually tends to benevolence in daily moral practice.In the Analects of Confucius,Confucius pointed out that an important way to improve self and gradually reach the humanity is to learn classic culture and restrain yourself with ritual,self-cultivation to peace other??s mind,and eventually peace people in the world.Therefore,living a moral life actively rather than passively in accordance with the requirements of ritual,through self-cultivation,good management of family and country and making the world peaceful,we can gradually approach the realm of benevolence.
